Yes, there's no doubt the rigged economy and the falling wage crisis, combined with the loss of American manufacturing, helped propel Trump's awesome victory.
For the broad majority of Americans, earnings have been stagnant for more than a decade, and there's no light at the end of the tunnel.
Meanwhile, the onslaught of Latino illegal immigration, and the promise of thousands upon thousands of Muslims from the war torn countries of the Mideast, plus the growing drug and crime and unemployment problems of our urban black populations, exacerbate white Christian racial fears -- the fears of "them."
Add in the fact that white Christian America is soon to be the minority, and you have the perfect poisonous mix to ignite rampant racism.
The mainstream media has been handling Bannon as though he was a unique individual, a hateful symbol of KKK-like bigotry and xenophobia, a pariah.
Bullshit. Breitbart's success belies any assessment that racism and bigotry in the good old U.S.A. is a minor problem.
Today's America is a bastion of fear and hatred, and Steve Bannon isn't uniquely terrible. Far from it. The odds are very high that he represents middle class white Christian America, as it fears the inevitable loss of its traditional dominance in a country that has been driven by racism from before it became an independent nation.
A good Indian is a Dead Indian.
Negroes are primitive, partially developed human beings.
Jews only think of money and will rob you blind as often as they can.
The god-damned railroad brought in Chinese laborers so they wouldn't have to pay our boys a decent wage.
Those damned Mexicans are working for lower wages and that keeps our wages down.
Muslims want Sharia and hate us. Killing non-believers is part of their religion! You can't trust any of them God-damned Muslims.
The land of justice and equality was begun by wealthy men who believed that slavery was perfectly acceptable.
Among white Christian America, Steve Bannon is no anomaly.
Reality.
